when I installed the VM (Win2003 Server) yesterday everthing was fine. I tried to power on, power off, suspend and resume the VM and it was OK. Today I rebooted the ESX server and after powering on the VM again I had the same problems like you. This is a very strange behavior. A lot of kernel exceptions (aacraid, scsi_tgt, scst_fileio, qla2x00tgt) on the DSS and all other servers lost their fc luns. So I had to restart the dss and all other servers. I have a similar system with a Redhat Enterprise Linux and VMWare GSX Server 3. These servers even boot from the DSS SAN and have no problems. I think there are some advanced configuration parameters on the ESX. If I find the time I will try to change them maybe it helps. But actually it is problematic because DSS serves for productive systems.
